Slow Stitch w/ Leaves: Easing Into Fall

WHAT TO EXPECT:

In this therapeutic art workshop, we will focus on SLOW art-making... together, in community.

__________________________

We'll be exploring slow-stitch with (dried) leaves ...playing with thread more as a mark-making tool than as an embroidery technique. Think meandering, intuitive embroidery.

We'll practice noticing ...sound, texture, and how we FEEL while we're engaging with these bits of nature. We'll practice understanding SLOW as a space that we can give ourselves to pause, express, process, integrate, regenerate.

I will have LOTS of leaves for us to work with in the studio, but you can also bring your own that you've gathered before our session together if you have some that you'd like to work with.

NO experience with art or art-making is required to attend.

• You needn’t have ANY experience with art or art materials to participate (and benefit from) any of my workshops.
• Groups are small, they are also generous, warm, and supportive... and easily among my favourite things.
• In all of my workshops, our focus is on exploring different art materials in lots of different ways …and noticing how those different materials and processes make us feel. And while I am here for any technical assistance you may need, our goal is not to focus on technical skill…but instead on curiosity.
